I can't play loud music outside where I live and I usually hang out in my Garage which is detached from the house. Soundproofing is not an option because of the way the Garage is built and it is a small 1-car garage [L16'xW10'x8'].

OK, I'm selling off a 40's vintage Gibson Lap Steel and matching amp to invest in some decent studio monitors. I'm figuring I'll have in the ball park of $800 - $1000 dollars to spend.

Was wondering if anyone has had an oportunity to hear these much. I'm in the market and until I saw these I thought I was sold on a pair of bm5a's. I really don't have the cash to buy both for a comparison or a place to go and listen to both. So, I'm just having to go by reviews and testimonials. Thanks.

aight i got a AKG Perception 200, running SONAR 4, M-audio interface firewire solo, KRK rp-5 monitors.

-everything sounds good, but am not getting that professional feel to it. i know i won't get a professional sound...but damn with all this equipment I have to come close to something people could vibe to...

Hi! My name is Sam, and I am starting my own studio for recording acoustic guitar/ mostly clean guitar projects. My question is what monitors should I get. I'm trying not to spend too much money (hopfully less than $300 including an amp if not powered), but would like the best monitors I can get.
I'm also looking for a good place to buy them from.

I've just bought a pair of KRK RP8's. They're okay, but they seem to be less accurate than I would have hoped. Or, as someone put it, more difficult to learn and to get comfortable with than the other pair that I was looking at- Event TR8's. I'm thinking of dropping the $420 that it would take to get the TR8's, and depending on what I like, returning the other pair. Any advice on this?

I Just bought some secondhand Genelec 1030A monitors. They did not come with a manual. I see that they have a lot of calibration settings that can be adjusted. Can anyone point me toward where I can read up about how to calibrate the monitors with the control room?

Thanks

So I just ordered a pair of m-audio studio pro3 monitors. i used them for about 15 minutes, and now they won't work. when i turn them on, the right speaker gets this annoying humming sound. and nothing at all comes out of the left speaker.
it just bought the f**king things and now i'm really pissed

help?

Hello all,

A while back I'd asked a question on how to record vocals using monitors instead of cans, and have the bleed from the monitors be as quiet as possible.

One of the answers I received told me to do this:

Hello again, folks,...
